A beautiful washed lot from Huehuetenango.

Expect the classic Huehuetenango profile: super, super clean, light mouthfeel and a crisp and refreshing acidity.

Apple, Brown Sugar, Floral
This lot in particular comes from the family’s latest land purchase: Sakchibal.
For the harvest, the family moves the depulper to the plot they have located above Petatan. They start processing around 2pm, hand sorting out defects, with the coffee resting in a large container to ferment. Fermentation lasts 24-36 hours and then the coffee is washed. It then sits for a second night in clean water to finish removing any trace of mucilage.
The coffee is dried on a patio and monitored and turned constantly by Maria’s husband. It stays in the sun from 7am until 4pm for about four days until it’s fully dry.
